I spoke with Scott Jarus, CEO of Cognition Technologies, a company that has developed a semantic index of the entire English language. The development process took 25 years and over 350 person-years to complets, and now provides an enhanced search function that uses natural language (NLP) to allow users to query data sources using normal English questions.

In addition, Scott announced that portions of Cognition Technologys’ capabilities are being integrated with Microsoft’s Bing, an already robust search facility.
